How can I link my streaming services to VidAngel using the mobile app?
To watch with filters, you must link your streaming services to VidAngel. You bring your own streaming subscriptions, and we apply the filters to make your shows and movies better for you.
You can only link services in the VidAngel mobile app (or on a computer through the VidAngel website). Once you link a service in the VidAngel mobile app, this setting is saved to your VidAngel account. Then you can keep watching right there on your phone or tablet, or log in on a compatible TV app to enjoy it on the big screen.
- Open the VidAngel mobile app.
- If needed, log in to your VidAngel account.
- Click "Me" on the bottom menu and then "Link Streaming Services."
- Choose to link to a streaming service by clicking on the white toggle button.
You will be directed to the login screen of your streaming service. - Enter the email and password you use for that service (not your VidAngel account credentials).
Check the "Remember me" or "Keep me signed in" box to help maintain your VidAngel connection. - When the connection is made, you will see a message telling you it was successful, and you will be returned to the VidAngel app.
AMAZON-SPECIFIC NOTE: After signing into Amazon, you may see multiple Amazon services listed (Prime Video, Amazon Rent/Buy, Amazon Channel subscriptions). The circles next to each service are status indicators, not selection buttons. You cannot choose which Amazon services to link—all your Amazon subscriptions link together automatically. Empty circles will change to blue checkmarks once the connection is complete.
If you wish to refresh your connection or just want to unlink VidAngel from that streaming service, here's how:
- Simply press the toggle button again.
- Tap "YES" on the confirmation pop-up.
A white circle on the left means the service is no longer linked. A blue circle on the right means the service is linked.
When the service is linked, you will see the blue checkmark indicating that a specific service is connected to VidAngel. For example, if you have Amazon Video, Amazon Prime, and Amazon Channel's STARZ, they would all appear with a blue check, but Amazon Channels BritBox and Paramount+ would have an empty circle.
You cannot use VidAngel through a web browser on your phone or tablet. The VidAngel web extension will not work on a mobile device, even if you switch to a desktop view; you will need a computer to install the extension.
If you're on a phone, you will have a better experience if you get our mobile app instead: Watch on a phone or tablet
Having trouble?
If you're having trouble, remember:
You can only link services on the VidAngel mobile app or a computer--not on a mobile web browser or the TV apps.
If you're having other trouble getting your streaming services to link or to stay connected (i.e. you have to relink often), you can find help here: TROUBLE LINKING TO STREAMING SERVICES
